lyrics

Verse 1

Psilocybin chemicals come up from underneath,
The remnants of seedlings grow slowly round your feet.
Deep in the ground moldy molecules retreat,
So, long depraved inside the cave where life and death meet.

Far ago the gnomes had fled the city in a cry,
When mutant mushrooms caramelized, and poison filled the sky.
Down into the depths, they had no choice left but to hide.
Away they stay, until the day their hero would arrive.

Chorus A

Hey! Here’s unto the day!
That colorful sun!
For once you’re alive again,
When you climb out underneath the ground.
(you see me, its alright, you see me, in the sunlight)

Verse 2

Now, below the land is where the gnomes have come to dwell,
Living amongst the muck and moss, they’re plotting to rebel.
Who in the Valley can stop this awful spell?
A warrior brave is coming to save us from this rotten smell.

Chorus A

Hey! Here’s unto the day!
That we’ve overcome!
Here’s unto the day!
That colorful sun!
(you see me, its alright, you see me, in the sunlight)

For once you’re alive again,
When you climb out underneath the ground.

Chorus B

Memories,
They’re going to eat us whole,
Those same old stories you tell,
Battles long ago.

Those fading memories,
They’re going to eat us whole,
Those same old stories you tell,
Battles long ago.

Bridge

These hands, all closed,
No sight, no sound.

There’s no light, deep in the ground.
There’s no light, underneath.

Verse 3

Rumor has it there’s a race of people in the hills,
Who raise a crop of Forthinglocks and laughing daffodils.
Built up a village made of mighty windmills,
Around it they made a barricade in case that something spills.

The gnomes would send their bravest up into the hinterland,
To find a valiant warrior and ask him to join the band.
Bring him back and train him for the daring task at hand,
And teach him of this apocalypse the mutants have planned.

Chorus A

Hey! Here’s unto the day!
That we’ve overcome!
Here’s unto the day!
That colorful sun!
(you see me, its alright, you see me, in the sunlight)

For once you’re alive again,
When you climb out underneath the ground.

Chorus B

Memories,
They’re going to eat us whole,
Those same old stories you tell,
Battles long ago.

Those fading memories,
They’re going to eat us whole,
Those same old stories you tell,
Battles long ago.
